Mateo Saina and his squad of waiters, bar sta and chefs open the doors to their restaurant for another week.

There have already been some heartwarming and hair-raising situations in this series, but the team is ready to help the love-starved singletons.

On tonight’s show, 45-year-old rock musician Daragh from Dublin hopes that he can hit the right notes for 42-year-old basketball player Gemma from Cork.

Meanwhile, 31-year-old Dublin chef Nico looks to serve up the perfect date for part-time model Nikki.
